Upcoming / Zzzzzzzzzzzzz Got It on Carlock: Steely Dan's Drummer Gives You Some

Posted by on Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 11:08 AM

Any major dude will tell you that Steely Dan hire nothing but the baddest of the badass instrumentalists when they tour or record. Sitting behind the drumkit for the Dan's upcoming jaunt in which they cover Aja and The Royal Scam in their entirety is Keith Carlock. Check out his skills in the videos below. Tight. Carlock's a fine successor to Steve Gadd, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, and Jeff Porcaro.

(You're welcome, Trent.)

Steely Dan perform Aja (plus various hits from other albums) and The Royal Scam (plus various hits from other albums) Oct. 12 and 13 at Paramount Theatre.

Badass. And thank you. Love his rimwork snare tilt.

Really?

Yeah, this guy totally rules. Too bad he can't shake that early-90's-porn-star look he has. Why do soft-jazz musicians do it so WACK?

Saw him with James Taylor last month at The Fair. Looking forward to seeing him again with The Dan next month in San Francisco.
